Answer 1

1. You should be adding ga:date in your dimension array. It's good to know that by doing this you won't be doing as many request you would be doing by looping thru a dateRange yourself, this way the DateRangeObject will hold only values for the dates that fall within the respective ranges.

2. Supposing that you are trying to get back the page-views of certain pagePath day by day.

Your reportRequest should be something like this:

'reportRequests': [
            {
                'viewId': VIEW_ID,
                'dateRanges': [{'startDate': '2019-02-13', 'endDate': '2019-02-15'}],
                'metrics': [{'expression': 'ga:pageviews'}],
                'samplingLevel': 'SMALL',
                'dimensions': [{'name': 'ga:pagePath'}, {'name': 'ga:date'}],
                'dimensionFilterClauses': [{
                    'filters': [{
                        'dimensionName': 'ga:pagePath',
                        'operator': 'EXACT',
                        'expressions': ['SomeExpression']
                    }]
                }]
            }]
